Estragole-rich essential oil of summer savory (Satureja hortensis L.) as an eco-friendly alternative to the synthetic insecticides in management of two stored-products insect pests

Acta Agriculturae Slovenica, 2020
The lesser grain borer [Rhyzopertha dominica (Fabricius, 1792)] and the red flour beetle [Tribolium castaneum (Herbst, 1797)] are among the cosmopolitan damaging pests on several stored-products.

Phosphine‐induced walking response of the lesser grain borer (Rhyzopertha dominica)

Pest Management Science, 2012
AbstractBACKGROUND: In spite of the intensive worldwide use of phosphine against stored‐product insects, its potential sublethal effects on targeted insect species is seldom recognised and may compromise the efficacy of this fumigant, particularly against phosphine‐resistant insects.

Cycle and Demographic Parameters of Ephestia cautella Walker (Lepidoptera: Pyralidae) on Shea Kernels

Psyche: A Journal of Entomology, Volume 2025, Issue 1, 2025.
Ephestia cautella W. (Lepidoptera: Pyralidae) is an insect pest associated with shea kernels that causes significant damage to stored products. In Burkina Faso, no study has been conducted to assess the biological effects on E. cautella after exposure to shea kernels, and therefore, the aim of this study was to evaluate this.

Influence of winter savory (Satureja montana) aqueous extract on mortality of lesser grain borer (Rhyzopertha dominica) [PDF]

Botanica Serbica, 2018
Losses of grain quality and quantity as a result of insect activity during storage impose the need for proper pest control. One of the major pests of stored wheat is the lesser grain borer (LGB), Rhyzopertha dominica. This pest is usually controlled with

Copper nanoparticles interfere with insecticide sensitivity, fecundity and endosymbiont abundance in olive fruit fly Bactrocera oleae (Diptera: Tephritidae)

Pest Management Science, Volume 80, Issue 7, Page 3640-3649, July 2024.
Copper nanoparticles (Cu‐NPs) enhance deltamethrin's insecticidal action, interfere with endosymbiont abundance and, adversely affect Bactrocera oleae reproduction potential. Note: Delta, deltamethrin; Cu‐NPs, copper nanoparticles; CuO‐NPs, copper oxide nanoparticles; Cu(OH)2, copper hydroxide. Abstract BACKGROUND The potential of copper nanoparticles (

Controle de Rhyzopertha dominica pela atmosfera controlada com CO2, em trigo [PDF]

Pesquisa Agropecuária Brasileira, 2000
A utilização de gases inertes como fumigantes no controle de pragas é uma alternativa ao uso de fosfina. O objetivo deste trabalho foi avaliar a eficiência de uma atmosfera com CO2 no controle de Rhyzoperta dominica (Fabr.) (Coleoptera: Bostrichidae) em grãos de trigo armazenado.
